Tour the recently restored NJ State House.
This is the second-oldest capitol in continuous use in the US. The restoration of the dome has made it beautiful from both inside and out. Don't miss the combination gas/electric lights in the Assembly chamber. Electricity was still new and unreliable when Edison installed the lights.
The tours are concise and interesting.

 drc151 Says:  Definitely casual, but oh so tasty! Hoagie Tom's Grille (Featuring FD Subs) in Ewing, NJ (outside of Trenton) serves up some of the best hoagies/subs in the entire Philadelphia metro area. To me, a good hoagie starts off with the roll and Hoagie Tom doesn't disappoint. All...

Do the history bit. Start at..., Trenton

 luv2learn Says:  Do the history bit. Start at Washington's Crossing, PA and follow Washington's path across the Delaware, down to the Old Barracks in Trenton, climb the Battle Monument, and eventually move on to Princeton. Chances are, the world today would be a very different place if...
